The Northeastern peninsula hill rat (Frateromys fratrorum), which the English Wikipedia article calls the fraternal hill rat, is a species of rodent in the family Muridae, the large family of Old World mice and rats. It is the only member of the genus Frateromys. The species is found only in northeastern Sulawesi, Indonesia, so its entire known range lies within one part of one island. Its natural habitat is tropical dry forest, and the article states that it is threatened by habitat loss. A GBIF record from a taxonomic checklist credits the name Frateromys fratrorum to O. Thomas in 1896 and lists fraternal hill rat as its English vernacular name.
